Day 13 Muslim Tasks

As-salam alaykum. How are you today? May Allah SWT accept our sacrifice during this month. Love is among the most exalted of human feelings. When this love revolves around Almighty Allah and forms the basis for our interpersonal relationships, many problems can be weathered and great fruits can be harvested for both the individual and society as a whole. The Qur’an and Sunnah often speak about the noble status of those whom Allah graces to possess such love.

To Love for the Sake of Allah SWT

Today new task is to renew our love to someone for the sake of Allah. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet SAW said, Allah will ask on the Day of Judgment: “Where are those who loved each other for the sake of My glory? Today, on a day when there is no shade but Mine, I shall shade them with My shade.” (Muslim)

"To love for the sake of Allah" means loving someone, not for any worldly gain, but because he/she is more religious and pious or he/she is very learned in Islam knowledge or is busy in serving other people because it is commanded by Allah, e.g. one's parents.
